Why glacier collapse that caused flash flood in Nepal is a warning sign for Himalayas? Is it a first of many?
A glacier collapse in Tibet triggered a flash flood in Nepal's Trishuli River, initially thought to be earthquake-related. The US Geological Survey reported seismic waves equivalent to a 5.2 magnitude quake, indicating significant ice and rock movement. Scientists warn this event underscores the growing risk of similar disasters due to climate change, with more flash floods likely in the Himalayas.
